Re: 750il wheels tyres

Anyone got a link for what possibilities are OK? 


Any five bolt BMW wheels will work unless they're from a three series
(wrong offset). Any five series wheels from the later E39/E60 five need
hubcentric adaptor rings. Your tyres are a larger diameter than those on
a five or six series.


Actually, the E60 has the smaller diameter hubcenter, not the larger one like the E39 does. I know this because I have E60 take-off wheels mounted on my E34 and they fit perfectly without rings or spacers.
